About the brand ❤️
The Nexus 7 was a series of Android tablets co‑developed by Google and manufactured by ASUS, first introduced in 2012 as part of the Google Nexus line of devices designed to showcase a pure Android experience. With a 7‑inch display, powerful mobile hardware for its time, and direct software support from Google, the Nexus 7 quickly became one of the most popular Android tablets, positioned as a more affordable alternative to larger competitors while still delivering solid performance. Its second generation (2013) improved screen resolution and processing power, and both models were noted for timely updates to Android versions. Although the Nexus 7 line was eventually discontinued by Google around 2015 as the Nexus brand gave way to the newer Pixel hardware lineup, its influence remains significant in the history of Android tablets for balancing performance, price, and a clean software experience.
